Diminishing Self Worth

Good Afternoon All,

I hope all is well.  I have been trying to find some inspiration to enlighten my fingers to do the typing on my blog.  The past couple of days have been rough because of the job search.  I am trying to stay positive and rely on the Creator to guide me in searching for the perfect opportunity.  I can actually put myself in the shoes of people that have a sense of diminishing worth because of a loss.  A loss can be a job, a marriage, health, or a love one.  When feeling limitations in my self worth, I ask myself, how do you define yourself.  Do I define myself by my job, my marriage, what family I belong to; what affiliations I have; what neighborhood I live in; or whatever you identify with.  I identified myself with work.  I have always been fixated on finding a job, getting the right job, and how much the job pays.  I often sacrificed my happiness for jobs where I was stressed and didn't really like. Over the past year, I have been really doing some soul searching on what my purpose in life is and asking the Creator for direction.  I have come to the  conclusion that I am not my job.  I am an influential individual who has a purpose of helping others while realizing my self worth.  The Creator uses people in mysterious ways.  Since I have been spending much time in the gym, I have become an inspiration for others trying to become healthy.  I am constantly asked what have I done to sculpt my body and lose weight. I have been lucky to have a husband who is a work out fanatic and acts as my personal trainer.  I feel a sense of worth with helping others achieve the results I have achieved on my journey. 

When I make progress, I normally treat myself to something.  Today, I treated myself to some African leggings from American Apparel.  These leggings can be found  at http://i.americanapparel.net/storefront/photos/fullscreen.html?l=1&i=http://i.americanapparel.net/storefront/photos/zoom/serve.asp?media=rsa8349p_WhiteBlackAfrika.jpg


Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have.  It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now.  It is kind of creepy.  I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee.  Spring is definitely in the air.  I am waiting for the ball to drop.  Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May?  Anyways, I got a new bag.  Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag.  It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue.  I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart.  I like white bags; however, they don't wear well.  Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that.  Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person.  It is more of a cerulean blue... that same cerulean blue that cause

Dooney and Bourke is Becoming My Favorite Again

Alto Canvas Wide Tassel Bag Amazon Medium Double Gussett Satchel Alto Magnetic Crossbody Florentine Drawstring Florentine Mini Satchel Mauro Governa Crocodile Double Shopper As I mentioned earlier, I am a total handbag and shoe fanatic.  I loved handbags every since  I received my first Coach bag at the age of 12. As the years went by, I went from being a Coach fanatic to a Dooney and Bourke fanatic, back to a Coach fanatic, and then I ventured into highend designer bags.  I have a personal SA at Louis Vuitton, a SA for Celine Luggage Bags at Barneys and the list goes on.  One thing I could never bring myself to buy was a Birkin Bag.  However, I did purchase a Hermes Evelyn last year and had buyer's remorse so I returned it.  I don't know why because I bought about 11 bags last year ranging from Bottega Veneta, Celine, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton.  I could of owned about five Birkins by now.  I figured Birkins weren't quite my style along with

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, blessings!
